2007 Ford S-MAX 1.8L Diesel · CV07 DTF

The 2007 Ford S-Max presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded at the most recent test on 2023-08-21 at 65,803 miles. No defects or advisories appear across the last three successful tests, and the vehicle cleared its final examination just under three years before today's date. The history shows no escalating faults and no outstanding mechanical concerns from the official record. The odometer sat at 65,803 miles at the August 2023 test, against 64,870 miles in November 2022 and 63,518 miles in November 2021. That equates to roughly 933 miles between late 2022 and mid 2023, and about 1,352 miles across the prior year. Over its 19-year life this is low use at roughly 3,463 miles per annum, implying either gentle private mileage or extended periods off the road. The two failed entries in November 2021 and November 2022 both show zero recorded defects, so the DVSA system logged administrative or unclassified refusals rather than reported wear items; the owner corrected the position within days each time and secured passes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members that a short test lane run will not expose. The absence of advisories in the record offers no warning on tyre sidewall cracking or binding calipers. Verify the reason for the two 2021 and 2022 failures through DVSA failure codes if available, since the clean defect fields leave the cause unstated. Confirm the car has not stood unused since the 2023 pass, as flat-spotted tyres and seized handbrake mechanisms are common after long storage on an S-Max of this vintage.
